How much do you think server transfers should cost?

I'd say make it free but the time you can relocate again is harsh.

25$ everytime you want or 8$ only every twelve months

only if the AH is link to all worlds if not then you going to have issue with RMT jumping to world to world to make the most money they would pay if it mean they get such a big income that they pay for itself and make more money they need. or even other players would do it i say make it free only if all AH is link and you have to wait 6month or 25$ if you want to switch in 90days.

Some people will want to move around once server transfers become avaiable maybe they want to move to their own regions server, but how much will they cost?

In FFXI they cost $25, which if you asked me is a bit expensive these days. However in Rift they are free and you can server transfer every 7 days.

How much do you think server transfers should cost in FFXIV?

I'd tentatively... (tentatively)... say it should be free for the first transfer (offered only at the beginning of 2.0, just like how we get a one time character change)... and then approximately half the cost of a month's subscription for the second transfer; and then a full month's worth for every subsequent transfer.

I believe the most important factor is the time between the transfer and before you can do it again. If it's too low people will just steal/manipulate the market and hop servers. $25 every 3-6 months is satisfactory.

The cost depends on two things. One how much does it cost to transfer a character safely at any time and two how much should we charge to prevent abuse... Unless they are willing to reduce the amount on the abuse side of things I expect the cost of transferring a character to between servers to be more since there is more data transfered with a character transfer in ff14 than in ff11...

It's an automated process that really costs SE nothing to do, the question is how much do they want to make on it.

[Valmonte]

server transfers shouldn't be allowed, too many con's not enough pro's.

[Dannythm]

they should cost from 5€ to 50€, increasing cost for each transfer in a short period of time, then reset at 5€ if during 6 months no transfer has been done.

Also they should o like blizzard, and offer free transfers from high pop servers to low pop servers to balance things out when needed.

Wait i thought we could change servers at launch?
